[Genealib] Advice for Library School Students

[Amber Brock]

Hello Everyone,
I am currently in my second year of library school at the University of 
Washington's Information School and in my first quarter of a genealogy 
year-long class. I am putting together a small article about Genealogy and 
Librarianship for the Information School's student newspaper.  Our library 
school does not have any classes or workshops that focus on the skills and 
helpful resources when assisting patrons with genealogical based 
questions/research. If you have the time, could you answer the following 
questions for me.

1. What books or article would you recommend library school students read to 
prepare for these types of reference interactions?
2. What genealogy resources would you recommend library school students 
become acquainted with to prepare for these interactions?
3. What other advice would you give library school students about genealogy 
and Libraries?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
